XRFTesting; Pricing

To date, participating in XRF testing has primarily helped only with the cost of the testing and costs related to making it possible for me to coordinate the testing (transportation, shipping, etc.).=

I am changing the model a little bit in order to make it more predictable for me to test things (and hopefully this will make it so I will be able to coordinate testing for more people on a regular basis.).

Testing is done with a Niton XL3T non-radioactive source XRF used specifically to test consumer goods for lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic. I am trained and certified in using this instrument and have worked with this instrument (or one similar) for nearly 10 years. I may do the testing or may work with another operator who is also trained and certified in using the instrument.

This is XRF testing is done as an advocacy opportunity. I do not represent, nor am I affiliated with any lab or organization. Results are posted on this blog and on the related Facebook pages so families everywhere can benefit from the information in a public forum. Results are given to participants informally (links to blog posts, videos, etc.) regarding items sent in for testing. No formal report will be given with results.

Until further notice, any XRF testing will be done in the State of Washington, the State of Colorado or other state where the XRF rental company is located and registered for the particular rental instrument being used to do the testing at that time. Items can be sent to me to test and I will transport them to the testing location and ship them back to you. Depending on the availability of instrument and operators, testing will likely be done every 6 to 8 weeks.

OMG! After seeing MisLEAD, I got serious goosebumps listening to the Moms. The moms hit my heart; the men hit my logical brain. You captured me again - heart and soul. I am so blessed to have you and your passion in my life.

Thank you so much Tamara Rubin for the lead test kits you sent me a while back! I owe you big time!! Tonight we went through my grandmothers costume jewelry and found a ton that tested positive for lead. E wanted several pieces and since they were crystal I decided to test.

I am so thankful for what you are doing. Even if J. turns out to not have elevated levels, just knowing you will save some kids really helps me get through this fear.
